Ann had lived in Brownwood since 1976 and over the years, had made many dear friends who knew that if they ever needed anything, they could count on her to be there. With a heart of gold and loving hands, she devoted her life to caring for her children and spoiling the grandchildren and great-grandchildren that came along through the years. Her favorite pastime was working puzzles and spending time with her family. She was loved by all; she will be greatly missed; and she will always hold the title of “The Best Cook Ever!”
